Properties of radiation-modified blends of polyethylene with elastomers and liquid crystalline copolyester

2001

The results are given on the effect of γ-irradiation on properties of blends of high and low-density polyethylene (HDPE, LDPE) with elastomers -ethylene/propylene/diene rubber (EPDM) and chlorinated polyethylene (CPE), and thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer (LCP). The morphological, thermal, mechanical properties (including thermosetting properties) and adhesion properties of blended composites were investigated. A special attention was paid to the applicability of the blends as thermosetting materials (TSM). The LCP used was a copolyester of poly(ethylene terephthalate) with p-(hydroxybenzoic acid) in the ratio 40: 60. It was found that addition of LCP essentially influenced the therm…

Ethno Therapy, Music and Trance: An EEG Investigation into a Sound-Trance Induction

2011

Music has been used since ancient times in healing rituals. It has been played for people to induce altered states of consciousness (ASC), which change the focus of attention, mood, and thoughts about the world and the self. Music and altered states are connected in various ways concerning context, personal set, socio-ecological setting, and cultural beliefs. Discussion is ongoing as to whether music itself induces the changes via a “trance mechanism” or whether the setting and rituals connected to music are responsible for the induction of ASC. The authors conducted an explorative attempt to represent interdependencies of set and setting, sound and trance through electrophysiological corre…

Hydrophilic primer has double the risk of bracket bond failure

2002

Question: In patients who need orthodontic bracketing is a hydrophilic primer or a conventional primer more effective for bonding? Objective To compare clinical failure rates of brackets bonded with a prototype hydrophilic primer and conventional primer. Design Randomised controlled trial (RCT) in a hospital setting. Intervention A split mouth design was used. Sides were randomly allocated to either hydrophilic (supplied by 3M Unitek (Monrovia, California, USA) or conventional primer (conventional TransbondTM 3M Unitek) adhesive), with the other side having alternative primer. Brackets were applied to 33 patients using a standard procedure. A total of 266 bonds were completed with each prim…

Gli insetti agenti di degrado dei beni culturali: Certosa di Pavia Situazione fitosanitaria delle strutture lignee del museo

2006

Durante i lavori di restauro dei locali della Certosa destinati a ospitare il Museo erano sta¬ti notati sui manufatti lignei dei segni che potevano attribuirsi alla possibile presenza di insetti xilofagi. Per conto della Soprintendenza per i Beni Ambientali e Architettonici di Milano, nel 1998 sono state fatte delle indagini i cui risultati vengono esposti nella presente relazione.

Gli insetti agenti di degrado dei beni culturali: Certosa di Milano (Garegnano), Sala Capitolare- Diagnosi e misure di salvaguardia preventiva

2006

I manufatti lignei della Chiesa parrocchiale di S. Maria Assunta in Certosa di Garegnano in Milano sono stati inclusi nel progetto di restauro predisposto in occasione dell'anno giubilare 2000. In tale contesto si è voluto indagare sull'azione di bio-degradamento svolta dagli insetti xilofagi, che, come è noto, tra agenti biotici sono i principali responsabili dei danni sul legno dei beni culturali. D'accordo con la Soprintendenza per i Beni Ambientali e Architettonici di Milano e con la Direzione dei lavori di restauro è stata svolta un'indagine fitosanitaria sui manufatti lignei della Sala Capitolare (vedi pianta) al fine di acquisire dati utili per le eventuali misure che si rendessero n…

Gli insetti agenti di degrado dei beni culturali: S. Maria delle Grazie, Sacrestia Bramantesca Metodiche di difesa e salvaguardia preventiva.

2006

In seguito all'approvazione del programma di restauro della Sacrestia Bramantesca della Chiesa di S. Maria delle Grazie di Milano, finanziato dal Ministero per i Beni e le Attività Culturali, la Soprintendenza dei Beni Artistici e Storici di Milano nel 1996 ha affidato l'incarico di effettuare una prima indagine entomologica sulla situazione fitosanitaria riscontrata nella Sacrestia. Alla prima indagine conoscitiva ne sono seguite altre, finalizzate alla predisposizione e attuazione di un opportuno progetto di restauro e conservazione che tenesse in conto i risultati delle indagini e delle condizioni in cui sono ubicati gli arredi lignei.

The Commission’s informal agenda-setting in the CFSP. Agenda leadership, coalition-building, and community framing

2020

This study contributes to the literature on informal governance by examining politics of informal agenda-setting in the European Commission. As a ‘hard case’, the paper examines how the European Commission exceeds limited legal Treaty provisions in foreign and security policy (CFSP). This system, where the Commission has come to play a more prominent role than stipulated in the treaties, is interpreted as a normalization of CFSP governance. Three complementary propositions on the informal agenda-setting role of the Commission are developed: agenda leadership (#1), coalition-building (#2), and community framing (#3). To illuminate these propositions, we examine their relevance across three e…

Horizontal competition in multilevel governmental settings

2013

28 pages; Governments situated on the same level of a multi-level governmental system compete with each other as well as with governments placed higher or lower. This paper is concerned with horizontal competition only. It discusses both competition based on the mobility of agents and competition based on comparisons of performance across jurisdictions - i.e., yardstick competition. With regard to the first kind, the focus is on the capacity of governments and voters to decide policies in spite of the mobility of agents. Some attention is also given to non-standard mechanisms in which mobility is manipulated so as to change the structure of the electorate. The paper considers two forms of h…
